Aha: You want me to disguise myself as Otto and seduce Romanticus? What a miserable fate! (11K)

Aha hid behind Chen Li again, warily watching A Kivili.

Though that exposed his back to Ouroboros as well, Aha considered A Kivili a hundred times more dangerous than Ouroboros.

That guy had way too many tricks up his sleeve!

"You three, put on your Aeon labels and activate your Aeon Bond."

After taking the Book of Years and Unofficial History back from A Kivili, Chen Li tossed it to Ouroboros.

"Heh."

Ouroboros let out a cold laugh.

So now he remembered me?

"You still have to eat the garbage, but draw a few more Character Cards to share the burden. That way, you can go from working all year without rest to working one day and resting four."

Chen Li glanced at Ouroboros.

"Okay, darling."

Ouroboros immediately broke into a smile.

As for why he did not simply let Ouroboros use Character Cards to share the pressure all the time—

Would that still count as punishment?

Once Ouroboros obtained her new Character Cards and activated the Bond, a giant tree appeared as the three Aeons worked together.

It was an enormous tree. Its crown was beyond sight, its branches and leaves blanketed the sky, and the instant it appeared, it nearly covered the entire Asdana System.

[Time] flowed along its trunk, branching out like the trunk itself into infinite worlds.

Every branch represented a form of civilization's existence.

Every flower and leaf was the present and past they had left behind within the dimension of time.

"The Imaginary Tree..." Aha exclaimed in amazement.

Of course, Aha knew the Imaginary Tree was not truly a tree, but his spiritual sense was telling him that this was indeed the Imaginary Tree.

A Kivili's eyes widened as well.

Holy shit! The Imaginary Tree? It really turned into a tree and got summoned?!
